Ather Energy Limited, one of India’s leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers, announced on October 6, 2025, the production of its 5,00,000th electric scooter from its manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. This milestone vehicle was Ather’s flagship family scooter, Rizta, which has quickly become a key driver of the company’s growth since its launch in 2024.

Production Milestone and Growth

Swapnil Jain, Co-founder and CTO of Ather Energy, described crossing 5,00,000 scooters as a major achievement, emphasizing the company’s commitment to building a scalable and reliable manufacturing ecosystem. The milestone reflects years of focused engineering, rigorous testing, and stringent quality checks, underscoring Ather’s dedication to innovation and customer trust.

The Rizta scooter has emerged as a core pillar of Ather’s portfolio, contributing over one-third of total production volumes within just a year of launch. Alongside metro markets, Ather is aggressively expanding into tier 2 and tier 3 cities in Middle and North India to meet growing demand.

Manufacturing Facilities

Ather currently operates two facilities in Hosur: one for vehicle assembly and another for battery production, together supporting a production capacity of 4,20,000 scooters annually. To accommodate the growing market, Ather is establishing Factory 3.0 in Bidkin, AURIC, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, built on Industry 4.0 principles.

Factory 3.0 will be developed in two phases, integrating advanced digital technologies into production. Once operational, it will increase Ather’s total annual manufacturing capacity to 1.42 million electric two-wheelers, positioning the company as a dominant player in India’s EV market.

Portfolio and Technological Edge

Ather’s product portfolio includes:

• Ather 450 series: Performance-oriented scooters for enthusiasts.

• Ather Rizta: Family-focused scooters emphasizing convenience and reliability.

The company pioneered India’s dedicated fast-charging network, the Ather Grid, which as of June 30, 2025, has installed 4,032 chargers globally (3,997 in India, 35 across Nepal and Sri Lanka). This network supports the growing adoption of electric scooters and reinforces Ather’s commitment to end-to-end EV infrastructure.

Ather also prioritizes research and innovation, holding 318 registered trademarks, 204 registered designs, and 48 patents, with numerous applications pending globally. These efforts strengthen Ather’s competitive advantage and ensure continued leadership in India’s electric two-wheeler segment.

Expansion and Future Outlook

The 5,00,000th scooter milestone highlights Ather’s rapid scale-up and production efficiency. With the addition of Factory 3.0 and ongoing expansion into non-metro regions, Ather is set to capture a larger share of the Indian EV market.
